I thought about getting something similar to the GoPro so I could use it when out on the scooter and mount it on the dash of the van. When I told MRS GB that I was going to stick a camera on my helmet she told me in no uncertain terms that I wouldn't be putting it anywhere near her! I thi k she might be a technophobe. If you want to make out you're a gynaecologist, Terry, I don't think a GoPro is quite the kit you need. Just having a vision of lady on couch, Terry whipping out his old man with a GoPro strapped to it with gaffer tape and saying "Now, ve vill inzert ze camera".

Sounds like a knobophobe to me... But fancy putting it on your helmet in the first place. Dirty fecker. (Ha! You beat me to it Tugs!)

ta for all the feedback folks - even the useless posts yeh, I guess having a dashcam can be a double edged sword but as said, if you drive like a cnut, then don't bother with one. I'm still undecided and I think I will continue to be undecided for a while longer - it was only a passing idea in the 1st place. I'll spend the money on beer instead. anyhoo, we have been plotting a ski road trip for March so need the dosh for that. and more beer. did I tell you I like beer??? well I do.

Have a look at a Mobius camera (around £50) - a 32GB card gives about 8 hours recording of HD videos and you can use it out of the MH for 2 hours on its internal battery.
If you have a bump, you think it might be your fault and you don't want the Police to see the evidence against you then flip out the card from the back of the camera and swallow the card.
24 hours later you can clean it up, or get the wife to do it when it's seen daylight once more, delete the video and pop the card back in the camera.
It's a win-win situation - if it's the other drivers fault you've got the evidence on camera and if it's your fault nobody's going to know except you.
Simples!

That's what I like about this site. The investment advice.
I'm just off to spend my dash cam money on beer too.

Yes. I just did a test. I tried drinking a beer and then a dashcam. The beer won easily.

Oh I want beer now. Why is everyone on the lash? I got lashed last night so will have to wait until tomorrow now. Dry January didnt really work here. We are going to do Dry February next but not until after my birthday so its "Dry just over half of February" really.
I wouldnt mind a camera for the scooter actually. That would be cool but just to record all the trips out. Ive seen a few on ebay for about £30 but I have no idea what to buy. I think I would prefer one I can mount on the front of the bike than no my helmet.
